Meet Elena
Elena spent over a decade teaching Russian at university level. She now teaches the way she believes it works best: one to one, shaped around the person in front of her.
Lessons are structured but never rigid. You will know what you are working on, why, and how far you have come. Whether you are starting from zero or brushing up Russian you learned years ago, the plan is built around you.
Based in Colchester, Essex. Teaching adults and college leavers, in person locally and online everywhere else.

Russian speaker? Learn English
It works both ways. Elena is a dual native speaker who lived in Russia for decades, so she teaches English to Russian speakers with the same one to one approach. No textbook English from someone who has never had to live in the language: real, spoken, everyday English from someone who knows exactly where Russian speakers trip up, because she has been on both sides of it.

- Explanations in Russian when you need them, English when you do not
- A teacher who knows both cultures, not just both languages
- In person in Colchester or online, same as Russian lessons
